The Fox and her Hound
Dad, I laughed quietly to myself. If you could see me now. You’d never think I’d ever be here. An actual werewolf sleeping at my feet? I’m really back in Jericho… Seems so silly, fighting you all these years and in the end here I am. Maybe you’d be happy. I don’t know.
I like him... Elias. He seems like a great guy, maybe you'd like him too. Seriously, though, he's the alpha of your old pack. He seems dangerous and yet, he saved me. He seems to care about me, and maybe I'm silly for feeling it but I think I like him too.
Six months ago Freya's father died, sending her to the bustling city of Jericho. Nearly kidnapped her first night and actually kidnapped her second she finds herself at the mercy of the mysterious Alpha Elias of the Hollow Moon Pack. Her attraction to him is hard to ignore but she wasn't born a werewolf. Her conflicting instincts to want to run and reject this pack are prevented why she finds out Elias has to be the one to reject her. Just seeing the way Elias looks at her, though, Freya can tell it will take some convincing to finally be free from him. Then again... does she want to be?

Chapter: Chapter 28: Freya-Freya-There was a long bang on the door. Like someone was trying to break it down. That's what caused me to wake up. Why was that what got me to move? I felt too exhausted. I knew I had been sleeping for a long time but I couldn't recall anything. Two figures were blurry in my vision as I reached out. “ALICE!” A young voice gasped and turned the taller one around. “You’re awake!” Alice laughed, “Oh thank the goddess!”I nodded, "what's going on?” Another bang followed by both girls turning back to the door.“It's breaking in!” “It's fine. Elias will protect us.” Alice patted the smaller figure and my vision was finally coming back to reveal it was that young girl. I just couldn't remember- no. Mallory was her name. She was the youngest orphan. Why were they here though? And where was I? I looked around seeing so many vases filled with fox gloves. But how? Why? Shaking my head I heard the beeping of a monitor picking up speed. Looking down I saw the IV in my arm too. “Okay,” I

Chapter: Chapter 27: EliasIt was as if her legs just gave up. I had been watching her so I knew she wasn’t tired, this was something else. One moment she was there, she was smiling, she was happy! The next nothing. It was as if someone had flipped a switch and suddenly she wasn't there anymore. My wolf was going crazy unable to sense her. Constantly I had to reassure myself that she was still here. I was touching her, she wasn't gone she was just sleeping. Shes not sleeping! I heard myself growling as if this could have been magical. Maybe this was divine retribution. Me daring to go against the goddess and her ultimate plan. “We can get her to a hospital.” Andre didn't dare touch her, she was in my arms and that's where I was going to protect her with my life. He knew if he even tried moving closer while she was in this state I'd attack. My wolf was right at the surface now, I could feel my canines extending just looking for the opportunity to pierce the skin of someone who thought they could move again

Chapter: Chapter 26: FreyaEveryone dispersed in a huff making the grey lifeless room even more like a morgue. “What’s the real reason you’re here?” Elias spoke once the crowd left taking a seat on an empty crate in the corner. “Oliver brought me,” I shrugged and took another survey of the room. The kids were still on the step but they seemed to be lost in conversation and Elias didn’t seem to be paying them any mind. I couldn’t shake the feeling they were watching me, “Can we talk alone?” I sighed “Follow me.” He nodded and went back outside. “Oliver!” he called back, “Make sure the kids eat lunch.” The only ones that were around here now were the kids, everyone else had left in a hurry. It felt like any amount of time they were forced to spend here was a waste. I had come to know the signs, growing up it was awkward for people to be around me. They heard I didn’t have a mother and suddenly it was like they were worried I was going to force them to take her place. He led me outside and around the back

Chapter: Chapter 25: FreyaI passed before the hour was done. I don't understand why he was so persistent but I had lost consciousness sometime around the forty minute mark. When I woke back up he was just gone. I took a shower and got dressed, stumbling down the stairs to find Oliver and Andre sitting at the dining table playing cards.“Hey cousin.” Andre smiled and I could feel he was so desperately wanting to comment on what happened between me and Elias. “How has your day been?” “Oh for fucks sake!” Oliver huffed and rolled his eyes back to me, “I'll fucking throw up if you two say one damn thing.” “Where's Elias?” I took a seat next to Oliver who seemed like the lesser of two evils at the moment. “Pack business.” Oliver answered shortly. “I figured, guess that means you two are babysitting me?”Andre kept looking at his hand of cards as he smirked, “Just minding the house since Rose is at the bar.” I nodded, “What'd you give to Elias this morning?” Andre’s head finally snapped up, his eyes wide, “I

Chapter: Chapter 24: FreyaBy the time we got back to the house I was exhausted. I remembered getting to the balcony but everything else was a blur. Elias had offered to pick me up and put me on the balcony and I think I accepted it. Everything afterward is what I questioned. Playing with a little section of soft hair that tangled the tips of my fingers I wasn’t brought out of sleep quickly, more like it was a lull out of my slumber that cradled me into security. I moved up and down rhythmically as strong deep breaths blended through his chest. “Hmmm…” he cooed quietly. I didn't open my eyes. Last I remembered we were both naked so I didn't need to know if he was still because I definitely was. Thankfully, it seemed one of us had enough strength and common sense to put a blanket between us. The sun was well up and I heard the common sounds of the forest, birds, the trees shifting in the wind, and- the howling of wolves?“Damn,” Elias sighed as the howling grew louder. “I guess I did tell them to meet today.

Chapter: Chapter 23: FreyaSo is this what it looks like to have control? He sniffed at the phone once more before looking back at me. “I got upset.” I shrugged and finally was able to make it back to my feet. “Clearly.” Elias was sitting on the chair next out of view. I was actually thankful he maintained a bit of modesty. “I really don't want to hear it right now.” I sighed falling backward onto the bed. “What do you want then?” He was sitting so far from me on the opposite side of the room looking back at me his head cocked to the side. “I don't know.” I did though, I wanted what I couldn't have. I wanted my god to answer me and to stop the goddess from trying to control me. “Get up.” Elias ordered and walked back out to the balcony. My eyes couldn't help but follow him. “What?” Sitting back up, I forced my eyes to only focus on the back of his head. That exposed backside though, that was daring me to look more south. “I thought I was giving orders here.” “Get up, shift into your fox and follow

Chapter: Part 5: Queen of Wolves Chapter 30: A Proposition“So how is this going to actually work then?” Hectyr scoffed and continued to pace around my side of the bed. Dimitris continued his physical presence making sure to have at least once hand on me at all times, “I will consent to appointments pre-approved with accompanying invitations.” He then pulled me back against him as he leaned over to look down at me, “If you’re going to insist on him being around I’m going to insist he respect you and treat your time as valuable.”I cocked an eyebrow “You want him to like invite me places? Don’t you think you’re being a bit unfair given how you acted with me and Nok when we first arrived?”“Last I recalled, I sent an invitation every time.” He smirked, “I also recall perfectly written letters that expressed how valuable I believed your time to be.”“Oh written invitations?” My eyes lit up and then I turned back to Hectyr, “That’d be cute!”“The queen has spoken, written invitations.” Dimitris’s glare back and snide tone clued me in on what rea

Chapter: Part 5: Queen of Wolves Chapter 29: The Longest Walk“Are you going to answer her?” Hectyr crossed his arms narrowing his eyes at the guards. They stood, straight backed and at attention the one who looked back to me answered. “Sir, we-”“You weren’t going to respond?” Hectyr cocked an eyebrow. “I thought you were trained better than that.”“Yes sir.” they both answered. “Okay, you’re dismissed. I’ll walk her back to her room.” “Sir,” the guard objected, “The king ordered us to take her.” Hectyr nodded, “I’m still your captain right? Seems to me like you should listen to me and let me deal with the king. Now dismissed.” They clicked their legs together and bowed before disappearing back into the antechamber. I was a little disappointed they were so quick to leave me. Wasn’t I supposedly the queen now? Didn’t that mean anything? Shouldn’t they have wanted to protect me just slightly more? “Come on.” Hectyr flicked his thumb behind him as he spun around. “We need to talk.” “Talk?” I scoffed but continued after him. “Yes,” he smirk

Chapter: Part 5: Queen of Wolves Chapter 28: A Crown Facing a Ring of Stars“You will listen to me.” I growled, lowering my gaze as I struggled to look intimidating. “Dimitris.” My voice was still low as I positioned myself between him and Polaris. With my patience wearing thin, he continued to have his back to me. The guards were closing in. Nok had taken a step forward too, his stance was low, arms outstretched as I saw his dagger-like nails ready to try to see how far he could get. “LOOK AT ME!” I snapped, my voice demanded something from him and he was going to deny me. That’s when my last effort was placed. I flooded him with as much emotion as I could. If he was going to ignore me here so I was going to make sure he was a wreck internally. Everything about my hatred for what he allowed to happen to innocent people was his now. It caused him to stumble backward slightly. I knew the way to bring Dimitris Attaason to his knees but when it finally came to it I couldn't hurt him. I couldn’t be that final nail in his coffin. I pulled it all back as quickly a

Chapter: Part 5: Queen of Wolves Chapter 27: The Ceiling Above Reflecting High NoonLooking down over the throne room I thought back to the first time I entered this room. It seemed like a lifetime ago where the prospect of hating Dimitris was still at the forefront of my mind. He was so ready to destroy Nok that day. Today his focus was going to be on Hectyr. My focus was on Hectyr. “Maybe I should go back to my room.” I sighed. The hall below was packed tightly with courtiers, their various colorful outfits and hairstyles made it look like a terribly mixed rainbow. Most of them seemed to be hiding their fae natures, but every so often there would be that one younger courtier standing out. Today I couldn’t help but look at the white blotch near the front, a fine ring around them. Up here it was apparently what was happening, down there though I’d have never been able to see it. I also wouldn’t have been able to see a few rows behind them, young girls pointing and leaning toward each other, no doubt spawning more false rumors about the family and Polaris. She was

Chapter: Part 5: Queen of Wolves Chapter 26: Passion Why was I so powerless against these men? Why do I never fight back? WHY! I clenched my eyes shut and felt a draw of power as I pushed back causing Hectyr to crash hard against the wall with me between his legs. I hated every part of me that enjoyed this. There was nothing that surrendered to him, for once I was going to fight. My hands clutched his tunic digging into the fabric as I held him firmly. He was going to know my strength. He surrendered and I felt a moan ease up from my core and finally vibrated against his lips. It was like encouragement for him. His fingers were playing with the fabric near my collar. I knew what he was looking for and once he moved my dress off my shoulder he pushed back causing us to finally part. Struggling to catch my breath I used as much strength left in me to close the bond between Dimitris and myself. If he knew- no. I shook the thought from my mind. He wasn't going to be here right now. Hectyr was what was flooding me, he was all that my feel

Chapter: Part 5: Queen of Wolves Chapter 25: Above the Court Hectyr sneered before turning back around, leaning forward over a balcony, the white glass ceiling behind him allowed every bit of near noon sunshine to come through. “What are you doing up here?” I looked around hoping someone else was up here at least. He shrugged and answered dismissively, “Waiting for court to start.” That’s when he turned and looked between me and Sage, “Why are you two here? You’re more than welcome to attend down there.” My thumb pointed to Sage, and she replied, “She needs to be here.” “Do I?” He grumbled back. “No,” she paused and looked around quickly, “but Odda would encourage you to.” “Do you make a habit of watching court from up here?” I laughed and looked out over the nearly empty hall below. Court was still a little bit away so only a few courtiers were inside at the moment. “Only when I know I’m not wanted.” He huffed and then turned back to Sage, “Am I going to regret my life after this?” She shrugged back playfully, “I think you’ll find
